One of the members of Oregon Orchid Society/AOS judge, Dr. Banholzer passed away a while ago. Our society had a privilage to have his entire collection of plants for the auction
400+ . There were a paddle auction, a slient auction and $5/plant sale.
I came home with;
1. Paraphalaenopsis labukensis with 3' long plus a spike - $43
2. V. Crownfox Celestial Delight ( V. Fuchs Blue 'Robert' AM/AOS x V. Dr. Anek 'Crownfox' AM/AOS) previously bloomed - $5
3. Paph. micranthum (seedling) -$5
4. Paph Mrs. Reginal Young (NBS) - $5
I sure did have a great time. I will post the picture of Paraphal later.
